Plot

Semsem (an introvert), Bibo (a soccer fan) and Prince (a 1900s clothes and action fan) are three identical triplets. Their mother died shortly after their birth, and to avoid military conscription, their father made the three pretend to be one single person when out in public. No one except their father knows of the triplets' existence.

In public, they are all named Reda (and hence the title of the film), and all compete to win the heart of one beautiful girl, played by Menna Shalabi. Since each of the three has distinct personalities and interests, they each invite the girl to separate kinds of dates, splitting themselves based on days of the week. Problems ensue when each triplet does not know what the other two did on each previous date.

Now adults, they plan schemes to earn money, and in doing so accidentally uncover a criminal conspiracy.
